Looking for one antenna that covers multiple HF bands? In this video, I break down a Hydra-style multi-port antenna system, from concept to field use, so you can decide if it’s worth buying.
What you’ll see:
-How the multi-port design works electrically
-Build approach and hardware layout
-SWR and on-air performance across bands
Were going to show how and why we designed the antenna the way we did with real measurements and deployment scenarios. If you operate portable and want a flexible station setup, this will give you a clear, no-nonsense approach.
